[Chilli] Fixed IP addresses for APs and DHCP for clients

Hi,

	First of all, thanks for all your great work with
Coova Chilli, it is a great solution for managing Wi-Fi
Hot Spots. :-)

	When I first deployed it where I work I was
thinking about using ISC DHCP (at that time, it was not
clear to me how Coova works). The idea was to provide,
from DHCP, the IP address for the APs, that way they
will have a "fixed IP", but once we need to change the
range we could do it remotely and automatically.

	In other words, I would like to have a static
IP range that DHCP will send to the access points and
a dynamic IP range that DHCP will send to the clients,
but those ranges don't necessarily have to be a full
subnet like /25 or /28. The APs don't necessarily have
to access the Internet, we just need to access them to
check radio settings and config options.

	With this message, I'm searching for some
orientation on the best approach to deal with the IPs.
- From the documentation and forums I had the impression
that there are three possible approaches to achieve
the above described scenario.

 1) Use dynip and statip config options
 2) Use macallowed and Framed-IP-Address
 3) Use macauth and Framed-IP-Address


	I think (2) would be the easiest to maintain
when we need to add more APs and would not waste IPs
from a subnet, since it is a moderately large change,
I'm checking with the list before trying to deploy it.

	Any comments, recommendations, considerations?
And of course, it would be great if somebody just write
to say: "hey, that's exactly the way to go". :-)


Kind regards,
